To Live Life Like You're Dying

Meet Joy, a kind nurse who cares about her patients. She wants to live her life to the fullest and inspire people to be the best they can be! She's young, and loves to have fun. I hope you enjoy her story, and get to know her and her friends!

It was another frustrating day at work, and she just had to see Alex, a teen who has cancer.

"Hey, Lynn. I need to check up on Alexander!"

"Now, Joy.. You know you can't cure cancer, or any disease a patient has!"

"I know, but I just.. Please!"

"Alright, alright. But you have other patients to take care of too."

"Thank you, thank you!"

This was very important to Joy, and she was happy to be able to see Alexander again.

Joy was shocked at Alex's appearance. He developed a horrible skin condition, and he lost a lot of his hair from chemotherapy. She had hoped that he would keep it a little bit longer. But sadly, he didn't. The only thing that Joy could hope was that kids would treat him nice like they've always have.

"Hey, Alex! How are you doing?"

"Good. My girlfriend visited me last night."

"Did you guys kiss?"

"Don't be a goof, Nurse Joy. Of course we did!"

"So about your condition.. It's pretty good. You'll be able to leave today, and if the remedy works, your skin condition will be gone, and you can go back to school!"

"Good, good."

"You're going to be happy when you get outta here, huh?"

"Yeah, but I will miss you. Cause I'm moving."

"It's sad to see you go, but call me!"

"I will."

"Well, here's some breakfast. I know you're hungry. I'm going to record the data on the hospital computer. Chow down."

"It's my favorite!"

As Joy recorded the data, all she could think about was the best for Alex and his young life.

"It's time for medicine, Alex!"

"Don't be afraid. It should taste good."

"1-2-3, drink!"

And just like that, the medicine worked instantly, and Alex was cured of his skin condition.
